Good Chemistry: GSU’s First Location
In 1913, the Georgia School of Technology’s School of Commerce held its first classes at Tech’s ivy-covered chemistry building (Lyman Hall). The Evening School of Commerce moved to downtown Atlanta the next year. Since then, Georgia State University has grown into a leading urban research university housing five colleges, two schools, and one institute.
